Text Data Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things: Threats, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

In our daily life, Internet-of-Things (IoT) is everywhere and used in many more beneficial functionalities. It is used in our homes, hospitals, fire prevention, and reporting and controlling the environmental changes. Data security is the crucial requirement for IoT since the number of recent technologies in different domains is increasing day by day. Various attempts have been made to cater the user’s demands for more security and privacy. However, a huge risk of security and privacy issues can arise among all those benefits. Digital document security and copyright protection are also important issues in IoT because they are distributed, reproduced, and disclosed with extensive use of communication technologies. The content of books, research papers, newspapers, legal documents, and web pages are based on plain text, and the ownership verification and authentication of such documents are essential. In the current domain of the Internet of Things, limited techniques are available for ownership verification and copyright protection. In the said perspective, this study includes the discussion about the approaches of text watermarking, IoT security challenges, IoT device limitations, and future research directions in the area of text watermarking.

Anonymization Techniques for Privacy Preserving Data Publishing: A Comprehensive Survey

“…We summarize the various privacy issues related to the future computing paradigm after in-depth synthesis of the previous studies in Figure 17. We refer interested reader to previous works [262]- [271] for more detailed descriptions and definitions of the privacy issues related to the future computing paradigm. Therefore, future research must be done to find new ways to make anonymization solutions more resilience towards these issues such as quantifying the risk and benefits of data publishing, deciding the appropriate mechanism for privacy preservation considering the adversaries' capabilities (e.g., worst case scenarios), verifying the effectiveness of privacy enhancing technologies through realworld applications or increasing users' awareness about the privacy leakage through hidden routes.…”

Design of Web Security Penetration Test System Based on Attack and Defense Game

“…Security risks need to be quantified, which is not only conducive to the quantitative calculation of risk value but also allows the client to feel the security of the website and system more intuitively [23,24]. e flow chart of the safety assessment is shown in Figure 7.…”

Securing Data using Audio Steganography for the Internet of Things

“…The distributed implementation infrastructure, interoperability and heterogeneity of devices and the high traffic amount of IoT components are some of these peculiarities. The authors of [2] note that these unique features of IoT play an essential role in raising the risk of security attacks in IoT compared with other systems with clearly defined security policy and resources in a managed environment.…”
